? most biglawyers I meet are extremely dull people. that's to say nothing of this board, clearly MPA, neumann, et al use this as a creative outlet. but i dont think they're representative of the average biglaw associate

What about the fatalism that increasingly permeates the board? People here act like it's difficult to secure Biglaw or any law employment at all. Even today we had threads saying 100k is a lot of money.

to get biglaw you need to get into a T20 or maybe T25. after that, it's a sliding scale on where you need to be in your class. any school lower than T10, you need to be at median or higher. T20, top third of your class.

if you're not part of that special group (which is about 10% of all law students), you went to law school and paid the same $275K in tuition but now the best you can hope for is a shitlaw job making $45K.
